Calvary-Glynn Academy game moved to Brunswick

The Cavaliers were scheduled to play Glynn Academy at M.C. Anderson Field on Friday, but the game has been moved to Brunswick because new bleachers are being installed at Calvary.

Calvary coach Danny Britt said the school is increasing the stadium's seating capacity from around 1,700 to almost 3,000. Britt said enough of the construction should be finished this week that the Cavaliers can host Pierce County on Sept. 2. Construction will be completed for the Sept. 16 game against Jenkins County.

"It's going to be really nice,'' he said. "We're going to build the bleachers on the home side all the way over the track up to the press box.

The new bleachers will also allow Calvary to host a playoff game without having to bring in addition seating. Schools must have a stadium with a seating capacity of at least 2,000 to host a playoff game, according to Georgia High School Association rules.

"You can bring in temporary bleachers, and we've done that,'' Britt said. "But we didn't want to have to do that. Plus, the height of the home side will make it so you can see much better.''

Originally, construction was supposed to have begun on July 5, but delays caused it to be pushed back to Aug. 1.

"It's been a nightmare trying to get everything to come together,'' Britt said. "We felt like we were going to have it up a couple of weeks ago, but things didn't work out quite like we wanted. But it will be worth the wait.''
